The Party of Unity is Bringing America Back Together Again this time by proposing to have transvestites fighting in the trenches as Marinettes.


Reuters

"Retired Army General Lloyd Austin said on Tuesday that he would work to rid “racists and extremists” from the ranks of the U.S. military, mend alliances and focus strategically on China if confirmed as President-elect Joe Biden’s defense secretary."

Austin would become America’s first Black defense secretary and has declared his intention to improve diversity within the U.S. military, which is diverse in the lower ranks but largely white and male at the top.

"The job of the Department of Defense is to keep America safe from our enemies. But we can’t do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks,” Austin told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Austin said he supported Biden’s plans to overturn a ban on transgender troops imposed by President Donald Trump.

Austin said he would focus strategically on Asia, and China, in particular. Asked about China’s goal of developing a military that is superior to that of the United States, Austin said he aimed to work to ensure that “never happens.”

Austin also said he looked forward to “refurbishing alliances.”

And the destruction of America looms huge on the horizon. As is the leadership vacuum.

Nothing like picking the leaders of our military by the color of their skin as opposed to the best man for the job.

He should fill the military with Progs and gays and Karens then go invade Russia in the winter.

And yet the terms "racist" and "extremist" are left conspicuously undefined. If the wall of whining coming from the MSM the past few weeks (years) is to be believed, this is anyone who voted for Trump.

They may as well just disband the military and hand over the keys at this point.

I can't get over how insulting this could be to top ranked officials, insinuating they are where they are because of the color of their skin.

Or that diversity is more important than merit. frick these hypocrites.

Remember when everyone kept asking "is it happening?" Well, with the leftists you don't have to ask -- it is definitely happening.

Those are chilling words coming from someone in the position he is about to hold.

If I had been removed today from duty in Washington I would either file a suit or look into charges against whoever removed me from duty.

I would have committed no crime nor done anything wrong, and I would do my best to rain Hell down on whoever defamed me, no matter the cost. Someone has to stand against these sons of bitches.

Let's get a textbook definition of a racist and extremist.

The war on "domestic terror" is here. All of those lovely unconstitutional programs to fight al quaeda and ISIS are going to be turned against all of us brutally.

So top brass is now going to be based on color? That should work out well.
